How Will Jessica Simpson Lose the Baby Weight?
Weight loss after pregnancy is not just for vanity, it's vital for health.
Now that Jessica Simpson has—finally—given birth to baby girl Maxwell, she already has the gossip mill buzzing about whether she'll be able to lose the roughly 60 pounds she gained during pregnancy. Her fuller figure has been chided by celebrities and doctors alike, who said 60 pounds is way too much for an expecting mother to gain, as it could cause delivery complications or set a child up for diabetes. This isn't the first time the 31-year-old singer has had her weight under a microscope (remember the mom jeans incident?) and it won't likely be the last.
[See: Celebrity Weight Loss: Tales of the Scales]
While celebrity moms make it seem like post-baby weight loss is just for vanity (a bikini-clad Heidi Klum wowed audiences at a Victoria's Secret fashion show in 2005 just eight weeks after giving birth), the reality is that it's critical for your health, too.
Shedding pregnancy pounds is "absolutely necessary," says Raul Artal, chair of St. Louis University's Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Women's Health. Most women gain between 20 and 40 pounds during pregnancy, but holding onto those pounds can lead to obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease down the line. "After pregnancy, women should return to normal range for body mass index [a measure of body fat based on height and weight], which is anywhere between 19 and 25."
How long that should take depends on the individual. Celebrities have been known to drop pregnancy pounds in mere weeks by turning to questionable tactics such as fad diets, "extreme breast pumping," or having fat surgically removed from one spot and transplanted to another. Experts say a more realistic time frame for regaining your figure via healthier means is a several months. However, if you put on more than the average 25 to 40 pounds, or if you were overweight or obese before pregnancy, it could take as many as nine or more. In any case, aim to lose the weight before your baby's first birthday; studies have shown that any weight you retain beyond that point is unlikely to ever come off. Your doctor can help you determine the safest schedule.
As for Simpson, she will surely have an entourage of personal chefs, trainers, and nannies to help her get back in shape. Although most moms don't have these luxuries, weight loss after pregnancy is certainly doable. Some strategies:
Don't cut calories. Most women who want to lose weight try cutting calories or going on diets—but you shouldn't skimp on food if you've just given birth, especially if you're breastfeeding. You'll need lots of nutrients to make sure you and your baby stay healthy. Rather than trimming calories, eliminate junk food from your diet to shed pounds. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends that new moms say goodbye to soda, candy, dessert, sweetened cereals, fried foods, fatty meats, and even cheese, whole milk, and sweetened yogurt. Instead, embrace foods without extra sugar or fat, and make sure to get at least 2 cups of fruit, 3 cups of vegetables, 8 ounces of grains, 6.5 ounces of meat or beans, and 3 cups of low-fat or non-fat milk each day. Artal suggests spreading this out over three meals and three small snacks daily.
Breastfeed instead of using formula. Breastfeeding is not only good for babies—it immunizes them against diseases and gives them the nutrients they need to grow—it might also help mothers shed post-pregnancy pounds, says Artal. He estimates that breastfeeding burns 600 calories each day, the equivalent of roughly two hours of moderate exercise, depending on your weight and the activity you choose.
[See: 4 Breastfeeding Benefits for Mom]
Go on walks. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists emphasizes the role of exercise in post-baby weight loss. While many experts have advised against exercise until six weeks after delivery, ACOG says there's no evidence that "in the absence of medical complications, rapid resumption of activities will result in adverse effects." Depending on the type of delivery you had, you may not feel ready to run long distances or lift weights right away, so Artal suggests walking, which he says is "always a safe type of physical activity." Aim for 30 minutes of moderate or brisk walking each day. Pushing your baby in a stroller will burn extra calories. And exercise has another perk besides weight loss: It may thwart postpartum depression.

Once a day, Patch tackles national news that affects your community. If you have suggestions for tomorrow's story, email@example.com.
By Catherine Crawford
Growing up on the west coast of the United States, I would watch the Times Square ball drop with my parents on New Year's --- on television at 9 p.m. And then I was sent off to bed.
I don't remember feeling particularly deprived of any New Year's Eve excitement, although I also don't have memories of New Year's Eve being particularly exciting.
Lately, my two young daughters have been lobbying hard for permission to stay up until midnight on December 31st this year -- one indication that they're savvier than I was as a kid.
Initially, I vetoed their plea outright. I have a strong aversion to whines and live in fear of the day after a slumber party with an under-slept kid. However, I decided to investigate where others stand on the issue. Surprisingly, I've changed my tune. Wish me luck.
Here's my (new) reasoning for letting my 9 and 7-year-old daughters reign in 2014 in real time:
1) Memories and tradition: I found myself growing a little jealous when one friend I interviewed described her family's New Year's Eve tradition. Every year at midnight, she and her husband take their kids (same age as mine) for a pajama parade around the block. The kids get sparkling apple cider while the parents share a nice bottle of bubbly. This sounds like something my family can get behind and that my kids will definitely remember.
2) Nothing going on the next day: New Year's Day is perhaps the only day each year we all have off with nothing to do. No school, no sports, no work (!) If ever there was a time to experiment with sleep deprivation, this is it. Usually, my husband and I spend the day wishing we could lounge about, while the girls, fresh from their requisite 10 hours of sleep, bounce off the walls looking for fun. Maybe this year we'll all just cozy up and watch movies. Fingers crossed!
3) It's just a day: I have been working hard to temper my inner helicopter mom. The last thing I want is for my kids to be so micromanaged that they grow incapable of functioning outside of their normal routines. While I'm not ready to let go of the reigns completely, I'm happy to loosen up.
If you have young children, will you let them stay up on New Year's Eve? Tell us in the comments or in a blog post.

Everything is blue the water, the tile, the towels, the planters and the swimsuits that are the only thing between the statuesque bodies of Woody Fox and Ray Diaz, who are necking in the pool. Ray distracts Woody with a nip at his nipples while groping under the waistband of his suit. Ray breathes along the length of Woodys raging erection, releasing it inch by inch and running his tongue along every millimeter before swooping in to swallow it in a single gulp. Woodys face throughout Rays expert blow job is one of passionate disbelief. Instead of praising Rays skill, Woody rewards him with a cock massage and rim job that leave Ray squirming to have his nutmeg-colored buns breached by Woodys inches. They fuck like rabbits, with Ray on his knees and Woody straddling his ass, pumping him full of cock at the rate of two strokes per second. When Woody needs a break, they move to a lounge chair for a sit-fuck, with Ray able to ensure that his sweet spot gets hit on every thrust. Rays balls bounce so hard, that it has to hurt so good. A lot of screaming accompanies the creaming, leaving Ray dripping wet with two enormous loads.

How is cancer of the esophagus treated?
Surgery for cancer of the esophagus
How much surgery is done depends on the stage of the cancer. Surgery can also be used along with other treatments such as chemotherapy (chemo) and radiation treatment.
While surgery can cure some patients whose cancer has not spread beyond the esophagus, often these cancers are not found early enough. So it's important to know whether the goal of surgery is it to try to cure the cancer or to ease symptoms.
Surgery to remove all or part of the esophagus is called an esophagectomy. Often a small amount of the stomach is taken out, too. When the esophagus is removed as treatment for cancer, lymph nodes near the esophagus are also removed. The top of the esophagus is then reattached to the stomach, or the surgeon may replace the removed part of the esophagus with a piece of the small or large intestine.
There are several different ways to do an esophagectomy. All of these surgeries are complex. Surgeons who do this surgery must be experts. You should feel free to ask your surgeon about his or her experience with these operations and how many were successful. The success rate is higher when surgery is done in a hospital where it is done often.
There are 2 main ways to do an esophagectomy:
Open esophagectomy
Many different approaches can be used for surgery on esophageal cancer. The main cut (incision) is often in either the chest or the belly (abdomen). Some methods involve incisions in the neck, chest, and abdomen. You and your surgeon should discuss in detail the planned operation and what you can expect. The surgeon may use pictures to show you how the operation will be done.
Minimally invasive esophagectomy
For some early (small) cancers, the esophagus can be removed through several small incisions (cuts). The surgeon puts a scope (like a tiny telescope) through one of the incisions to see everything during the operation. Then long, thin surgical instruments go in through other small incisions. In order to do this type of surgery well, the surgeon needs to be highly skilled and have a great deal of experience removing the esophagus this way. When successful, this surgery allows the patient to leave the hospital sooner and recover faster.
No matter which approach is used, esophagectomy is not a simple operation, and it may require a long hospital stay.
If the cancer has not yet spread beyond the esophagus, taking out the esophagus might cure the cancer. But most esophageal cancers are not found early enough for doctors to cure them with surgery.
Taking out lymph nodes
When taking out some or all of the esophagus, nearby lymph nodes are removed too. These are then checked to see if they contain cancer cells. If the cancer has spread to lymph nodes, the outlook is not as good, and the doctor may recommend other treatments after surgery.
Risks and side effects of surgery
Like most major operations, surgery of the esophagus has some risks. A heart attack or a blood clot in the lungs or the brain can happen during or after surgery. Lung problems are common. Infection is a risk with any surgery. The patient may get pneumonia, leading to a longer hospital stay, and sometimes even death. There may be a leak at the place where the stomach is attached to the esophagus, which could mean another surgery. After surgery, the stomach may empty too slowly. Sometimes this can lead to frequent nausea and vomiting.
Some patients have narrowing of the esophagus which causes trouble swallowing after surgery. To relieve this symptom, these narrow places can be stretched during an upper endoscopy. After surgery, bile and stomach contents can get into the esophagus because the muscle that normally controls this (the lower esophageal sphincter) is often removed or changed by the surgery. This can cause heartburn and other symptoms. Sometimes antacids or other drugs can help relieve these symptoms.
Some complications from surgery can be very serious, even fatal. It is important to have a surgeon with experience and a hospital where these operations are done often. Don't be afraid to ask the surgeon about his or her experience and about the survival rates at the hospital.

Italian Tomato Sauce Blend
"Italian seasoning" in the spice section of the supermarket is a blend of dried herbs such as basil, oregano and parsley — tasty, but a little one-dimensional. This blend, including a bit of sugar, garlic and onion powder and a touch of chili flakes, adds layers of flavors to any Italian dish. Use a heaping tablespoon of it in a meatloaf mixture or in your next batch of meatballs. You can also sprinkle it over pizza or pasta or an Italian sub; best of all, it's the only thing you need to season a quick pot of rich tomato sauce.

Roberto Di Matteo is looking for improvements in performance from his side when we meet AC Milan in Miami on Saturday.
The Italian was disappointed with the side's output against the MLS All-Stars in Philadelphia on Wednesday night and is looking to return to winning ways at the Sun Life Stadium, indicating on Friday that he will also be looking for more minutes from some of his stars.
'We are looking to improve a little bit from Wednesday,' the manager said. 'I won't make as many changes a well so I am looking for a more settled team, different solutions and options as well and a couple of different things to see how they work.
'Hopefully we will round off with a good performance and result, improve our fitness as more players stay longer on the pitch, and get no injuries.'
We face a Milanese side that has sold Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva, two of their bigger names, but Di Matteo says they will still be a threat and expects them to figure in the Serie A championship race.
'They have Robinho, Boating, Ambrosini, a lot of good players and stars,' said the former Lazio player. 'We will have to wait to see their final squad, a lot of players have left but it's a fantastic team with great players and I am sure they will be competing for Serie A again, and be very competitive.'
With the arrival of Fernando Torres to the squad the number of strikers on the tour has doubled, with the Spaniard joining Romelu Lukaku as a further attacking option. Both will figure against Milan.
'Fernando is going to play in his centre-forward role, it is just a question of how much time he can play on the pitch,' Di Matteo said.

Temple Allen's new Wing-Top Sander is patent pending, and has been CE-certified for the European market. For more information visit
- Product From Temple Allen Industries
During MRO, helicopter blades are a challenge to sand because the paint thickness on rotor blades varies along the surface (especially considering the frequency of field repairs); because the substrate (and copper grid/ lightning protection) is susceptible to damage, and because the topcoat (particularly CARC paint used in some military applications) is hard enough to survive extreme operating conditions. Temple Allen's solution focuses on finish quality (consistent scratch depth/pattern) and part protection - by holding the sander flat while applying even pressure to the workpiece, operators are able to dial in a desired contact force and thereby establish a predictable material removal rate which, among many advantages, allows different operators to generate the same high-quality results.

Welcome to Inspiration and Chai, both of which will warm your heart. As we continue our journey of life and learning, we all come across challenges. This is growth and without it, what is life?
Every challenge brings its own gifts. Sometimes though it is not always easy to see those gifts at first. Suffering and wounds can blind us. We have all been there. It is at times like these that Inspiration and Chai is needed. Inspiration to soothe the heart. Chai to soothe the body.
Even during happier cruising chapters, being inspired is still a beautiful thing. It keeps us going. It reminds us of what we already know.
Inspiration and Chai is an ongoing journey. The aim of this site is to share inspirational stories and motivational thoughts and for it to reach more and more people in need, seekers on their path. It is a positive environment to revisit whenever you feel it calling. It is also somewhere for me to share my love of story telling and to share memories of life.
So please, grab yourself a warming cup of chai tea and join me for a cuppa. My personal preference is a chai latte. An almond-milk chai latte at that, though my friend Julz does make a great one with rice milk too. I don't think it quite comes up to my version of chai though, but we won't tell her!
Welcome to Inspiration and Chai. I'll bring the inspiration. You bring the chai.
There's nothing like sharing a cuppa with likeminded people. Thank you for wandering this way.

CIS Faculty member and students present in Paris
September 6, 2013 - Between the 13th and 18th of July, 2013, two undergraduate students from the Department of Computer and Information Sciences at Delaware State University, Mr. Atish Malik and Mr. Myles Johnson-Gray, together with their academic advisor, Dr. Tomasz Smolinski, attended the 22nd Annual Computational Neuroscience Meeting (CNS*2013) in Paris, France. The CNS conference is the most prestigious meeting in the field of computational neuroscience, and every year, it gathers the greatest computational neuroscientists from all over the world. This year's edition, which took place at the University Paris Descartes, attracted a record-breaking score of 787 attendees, and was one of the most interesting and impactful CNS meetings yet.
At the conference, Atish and Myles presented their work performed under the tutelage of Dr. Smolinski in the form of posters titled "Multi-objective evolutionary algorithms for analysis of conductance correlations involved in recovery of bursting after neuromodulator deprivation in lobster stomatogastric neuron models" and "Hybridization of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms and fuzzy control for automated construction, tuning, and analysis of neuronal models," respectively. The posters were also accompanied by abstracts published in the BMC Neuroscience journal (impact factor: 3).
Myles and Atish have been working as undergraduate researchers in Dr. Smolinski's Computational Intelligence and Bio(logical)informatics Laboratory (CIBiL) for 18 and 8 months, respectively. They are now both considering pursuing careers in science and applying to graduate school after obtaining their B.S. degrees from DSU. They both admit that the opportunity to attend the CNS meeting had a significant impact on their careers plans, as the chance to present and discuss their work with some of the greatest minds of today's neuroscience research was a truly eye-opening and life-changing experience.
Atish and Myles have been supported by the following grants: NIH NCRR 5P20RR016472-12 and NIGMS 8P20GM103446-12, NIH NIGMS RISE R25GM089669, and NSF EPSCoR 0814251. The other students from Dr. Smolinski's laboratory who worked on the projects presented at the CNS meeting include: Ainiah Floyd, Emlyne Forren, Parth Patel, and Kenneth Shim. (Submitted by Dr. T.

The Voice of Reason
Essays in Objectivist Thought
Ayn Rand - Author
Leonard Peikoff - Editor
Leonard Peikoff - Introduction by
- eBook - ePub eBook: $12.99
Between 1961, when she gave her first talk at the Ford Hall Forum in Boston, and 1981, when she gave the last talk of her life in New Orleans, Ayn Rand spoke and wrote about topics as varied as education, medicine, Vietnam, and the death of Marilyn Monroe. In The Voice of Reason, these pieces, written in the last decades of Rand's life, are gathered in book form for the first time. With them are five essays by Leonard Peikoff, Rand's longtime associate and literary executor. The work concludes with Peikoff's epilogue, "My Thirty Years With Ayn Rand: An Intellectual Memoir," which answers the question "What was Ayn Rand really like?" Important reading for all thinking individuals, Rand's later writings reflect a life lived on principle, a probing mind, and a passionate intensity. This collection communicates not only Rand's singular worldview, but also the penetrating cultural and political analysis to which it gives rise.

Seven principles to Close the CEO Skill Gap
How dare you manage? These words are often on the tip of Nick Forrest's tongue as he consults for CEOs and other senior managers. Why? Because rare is the CEO who has been taught to manage large groups of employees -- indeed, to be accountable for everything, for the entire organization.
Pragmatic. Reflective. Truthful. These qualities uniquely position Nick Forrest as a forthright individual who has devoted his career to the study and practice of management and leadership. He believes that companies grow as a direct result of the level of excellence of the management team, and his passion is to build great places to work that deliver extraordinary results.

I was talking with a friend recently – my asthetistician, to be exact, but I also consider her a friend – while getting my monthly professional facial treatment. We talked about the recent days-long power outage, our parents – hers about the same age as mine- and life in general. We then somehow got on the topic of high school, class reunions, and school life back in the day. She and I are also about the same age. I mentioned to her the struggles that I have with providing students with extra help. There seems to be no culture of extra help at my place of employ. I am constantly telling my students that there is rarely a time when I am not available to them for extra help. However, students typically don't seek me out on their own initiative. Instead, they come by way of teacher or parent fiat. Additionally, there isn't time built into the school day for extra help, or after school for that matter. Conversely, when my asthetistician and I were in high school, life after school was bustling with clubs, extra help, sports and band practices, and students doing research in the library or hanging out with their favorite teachers. The "late bus" – the bus that served those who stayed after school – was even a culture all to its own.
Perhaps extra help just doesn't happen in so-called, self-identified, progressive schools. My previous place of employ was a progressive school, and there was no culture of extra help, or after-school activities, for that matter, save play rehearsal and sports, the two things which seem to dominate after-school life at my present school. Mind you, my asthetistician and I attended garden variety, albeit good, public high schools, and extra help was a constant and regular part of the school day – before, during and after. So, one would think that at an expensive, private, college-preparatory school, the same would be true.
Extra help, given the competing forces, seems to be offered on the proverbial catch-as-catch-can basis. Do individual teachers offer extra help? Of course they do. However, when there is no culture of extra help, how does this impact the culture of expectation for students and teachers?
Jaime Escalante, the great Bolivian-American educator who brought AP Calculus to an East Los Angeles high school populated largely with economically-disadvantaged Latino students, reportedly said that students will rise to the level of expectation that teachers set for them. Mr. Escalante clearly had extremely high expectations for the students, despite the immense barriers the students faced on the basis of their race, ethnicity, linguistic heritage, and socio-economic status.
So…what are the barriers for well-to-do, predominately White, upper-middle class students who attend a very expensive, college-preparatory school? The dominant culture, i.e. White male culture, is a bankrupt culture in many respects. Despite the immense privilege such a culture offers, it is fraught with a compromised value system, misplaced priorities, and ineffectual parenting which values neither education nor personal responsibility and accountability. Therefore, extra help isn't seen as a way of doing better because it is the right thing, but more as a safety net for when things become so bad that extra help is the eleventh-hour solution. Schools reflect the culture of the society in which they reside. Private schools, despite the bubble shield they evoke, are not as immune as we may have been led to believe. All of society's ills exist with us as well.
I realize that my school isn't going to resolve society's many problems. However, I would like for my school to find a way to make extra help part of a positive culture of expectation. I would like to see more personal responsibility and accountability on the part of the students, and, to that end, we may have to teach these things to the students. Additionally, I would like to see a school day that supports and values extra help so that teachers and students alike feel that it is not only an important part of the school day, but that it is also a necessary component to teaching and learning.
Without a culture of expectation, nothing else truly matters.

Mirror installation was easy enough. The mirror was not usable while riding as I could not see anything behind me with it, which is what I expected. The mirror vibrated quite a bit...at first I thought I had a problem with my cam chain tensioner until I realized it was the mirror. I brought the mirror portion off in a fall during a long trip. I didn't notice at first so I don't recall how gnarly the crash was. I think I'll replace it with something of higher quality.Read All Reviews

Great helmet
I've has this helmet for a couple weeks now and I like it quite a bit. It fits really well and looks amazing. The two downsides I've noticed are when going down the highway, if you tilt your head it does seem to pull you around because of the visor. Also when shoulder checking, you get a lot of wind come in through the side of the helmet at your ears which takes some getting used to.

SPARKS — Bill Reichert will present "Garage Ventures - Art of the Start: The Future of Innovation and Entrepreneurship" from 7:30 to 9 a.m. today at John Ascuaga's Nugget. This lecture is presented free to the public courtesy of The Chamber.
An excellent and motivating speaker, Bill Reichert is a Managing Director of Garage Technology Ventures, a seed-stage and early-stage venture capital firm based in Los Altos, Calif.
The worlds of venture capital, entrepreneurship and innovation have changed dramatically in the last few years. New platform technologies are enabling entire new categories of innovation to take off, while reducing the cost of launching a new business. Globalization has expanded the market opportunity for startup companies, while also increasing competition. The economic roller coaster of the last few years has substantially altered the investor landscape.
In this new world, what does it take to create a successful company? The rules have changed.
Come listen and discuss the new rules for successful innovation and entrepreneurship with Reichert, managing director of Garage Technology Ventures. Entrepreneurs starting or running a new company are aware of numerous problems and challenges. Solving legal issues, raising capital and operating funds and other issues can seem insurmountable.
In the Southern Pacific third floor event room of John Ascuaga's Nugget located at 1100 Nugget Ave. To register call 636-9550 or visit www.thechamber.nv.org.
